In the old days, the Fishing Section of the Dar es Salaam Yacht Club had no area allocated and the only area where the
fishermen could weigh their catches and gather together, was the ramp, but this was creating some problems since the ramp
was often busy especially during week-ends.
Unfortunately the budget for each section was very limited, therefore a group of enthusiastic fishermen decided to
invest their personal money, time and manpower, in order to create an area for their section and where they could gather
together after a fun day out.
The works started in the early nineties. They started excavating into the cliff near the ramp which at that time was a coral
cliff with no use and slowly slowly they created that area which is now known as THE LURED INN.
With their personal money, time and manpower, the Fishermen of the Dar es Salaam Yacht Club, built the bar, the grill
and the pizza oven and after every day out fishing, week-ends or Holidays, the charcoal was lit up and the catch of the
day was put up on the grill for the enjoyment of the fishermen, families and friends.
Slowly slowly, this become a very popular happening, with more and more people coming along to enjoy the freshest
grilled fish in Dar es Salaam or the nicest Pizza, until the Fishing Section decided to invite to this popular gathering
all the members of DYC.
Serving: Please Note that the Fish BBQ Night is not a Bouffet and you are allowed to serve only once.
If you would like to serve more, another chit should be signed and consigned to the Fish BBQ attendants.
Please do note serve yourself from the Grill; Let the Fish BBQ attendants serve you the Grilled Fish.
Tables: Although during Fish BBQ nights or Pizza Nights, every one is welcome, please remember that the Lured Inn is
the area for the Fishing Section and fishermen might come in with their catches, at any given time, therefore you are invited
not to move the tables around since you might block the areas needed for the Fishing Section activities, such as the
access to the gantry, the access to the Fishing Section Store, fish trolley and Cold Room.
If you need to move your tables, we kindly invite you to ask to the BBQ attendants.
Gantry Area Although during Fish BBQ nights, Pizza Nights or Any other event, every one is welcome, please remember that the Lured
Inn is the area for the Fishing Section and fishermen might come in with their catches, at any given time.
Usually fishermen carry in their bags extremely expensive and delicate equipments such as electronics
as well as extremely expensive and harmful fishing tackle, therefore children should not go in the area around the gantry
and especially they should not be left running around unattended.
Many people attend these evenings as well to enjoy a quiet evening along the seafront, therefore your respect for others
is highly appreciated and children should not be left around as if they were in a playground, but parents should control their
behavior and their noise levels as if they were in a normal and respectable Restaurant.
If for any reason you would like to organize a party or an event at the Lured Inn, you should follow the proper procedures
and send a request to the Fishing Secretary and to the Rear Commodore Power. Please remember that even if your request will be accepted, fishermen might come in at any given time and they might need to
use the Lured Inn Facilities, therefore the gantry area and the access to the Fishing Section Store, fish trolley and Cold Room
should be left free for the Fishing Section use.
The cold room is for storage of fish, baits and ice for the use of members going out fishing.
For any other use please make a request to the Fishing Secretary. Please remember that even if your request will be accepted, fishermen might come in at any given time and they might need to
use the Cold Room Facilities.
